Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Janina Gosseye. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Janina Gosseye is a Professor of Building Ideologies at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology, having joined in the autumn of 2020. She focuses on the intersection of architecture and urban design, particularly in relation to social and political systems. With a background as an architect and a doctorate obtained from the University of Leuven in 2012, her research initially centered around leisure facilities constructed by the Flemish government during the post-war period. Over time, her work has expanded into exploring how ideologies of the welfare state influence built environments and the experiences of various stakeholders, including residents and commissioning parties. Her research encompasses three key areas: the changes in professional practice of architects and urban planners, the histories of specific buildings and spatial developments, and a focus on underrepresented voices in architectural historiography. Gosseye utilizes diverse methodologies, including the recording of oral histories, to understand and document the socio-political narratives embedded within the built environment.
Requirements apply generally across engineering and science master programs. Specific tracks like Architecture require a digital portfolio.
